All eyes have been on the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada these past 2 weeks, so it's only fitting that we showcase a little piece of the west coast scene by highlighting some cool local S13s. These cars may look a bit rough around the edges but they do have oodles of style. I get [...]
Hello Sepeedhunters! My name is Samui Salokangas and I wanted to show you all my ongoing project which I've named "Skysuka." “Skysuka” is a tribute to Nissan Skyline racing history and the theme consists of two-tone retro-style paint with gold pinstripes and KGC10 Hakosuka-style racing graphics. It also has a few Ken & Mary logos [...]
After seeing a widebody JZA80 at Fuji Speedway last month for the HKS Premium Day I was instantly reminded of this Abflug-Curve Supra I shot a few years back. To this day it is one of the most extreme body conversions I have seen, along with another mega-wide Abflug JZA80 I snapped years ago. You [...]

Thanks for the photo, Rasmus. -Mike Garrett

We've featured quite a few reader-owned FC RX7's this month haven't we? Here's one more, owned by George who represents the great state of Arizona. Somehow when I see this car, I get the feeling that if Nakai-san of Rauh Welt had an FC, it'd look something like this. That's never a bad thing. -Mike [...]

In the previous blog post about the Hellaflush 3.5 event, I mentioned how this event is more so of an automotive festival than a mere car showcase. Think of it like Japan’s Nismo Festival, or the Mooneyes Xmas Show in the United States. It’s a celebration of all things automotive. Throughout the event at the [...]
This article is dedicated in memory of Tyler Slak, a great member of our community who passed away at the far too young age of 22. Diagnosed with terminal stomach cancer but a month ago, Tyler demonstrated a degree of courageousness and fortitude that made us all proud to have had him as a member [...]

I'm not quite sure why, but I felt strangely drawn to this KP6 Toyota Starlet during the recent Omega Oil track day in Tsukuba. How can you not like its 70s/80s old-school feel, enhanced with body modifications that include massive N2-like overfenders and a set of vintage wheels. The interior was kept pretty simple to [...]
Reader Andy Gallagher sent us a photo of his '73 Datsun 1200 sedan done in a clean Japanese-inspired street style. Andy's outfitted the little Nissan with a pair of fender mirrors, a front chin spoiler, and a proper set of vintage wheels (Equips?). Under the hood is a Z18ET, and he's also upgraded the brakes [...]

Hello world! My name is Kenny Lam and I live in Melbourne, Australia. This is the story of my journey into the world of track days and club sprints accompanied by my 2006 Nissan 350Z, affectionately known as GorillaZ. In October 2006, I took delivery of this black 350Z. I had always wanted a 350Z [...]
When I recently found out that the owner of this dedicated track S15 Silvia manages to lap Tsukuba in 55-sec I knew I had to dedicate a small post to this incredible car. Suzuki-san, the owner, had his time attack project built by Scorch Racing and Ennepetal with a goal of achieving the fastest possible amateur [...]
